Granted... but you rip off the plastic wrap, shred up the reciept (cos you know there's no way you ever want to return them) put the first disc in your player, and suddenly find out that they're the wrong region and in NTSYNC not PAL.

Granted. But in the time you spend doing hwrk you would have been doing other things. Whilst doing these other things you inspire a random passer by to develop super new technology, but as they aren't inspired by you this technology isnt developed and we all get vapourised by alines. End of.
